Inspired by climate denial pundits, right-wing Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik railed against global warming “enviro-communism” in his manifesto. Breivik — who confessed to killing 76 people in two attacks in Norway — published on the web a <a href="http://www.freep.com/article/20110725/NEWS07/110725017/Norway-massacre-suspect-inspired-by-Unabomber-Ted-Kaczynski">1,500-page manifesto</a> describing his Christian conservative conspiracy theories. In one section, “Green is the new Red — Stop Enviro-Communism!” Breivik argues that global warming is actually an eco-Marxist plot “to create a world government” using the “Anthropogenic Global Warming scam”:
<blockquote>
You might know them as environmentalists, enviro-communists, eco-Marxists, neo-Communists or eco-fanatics. They all claim they want to save the world from global warming but their true agenda is to contribute to create a world government lead by the UN or in other ways increase the transfer of resources (redistribute resources) from the developed Western world to the third world. They hope to accomplish this through the distribution of misinformation (propaganda) which they hope will lead to increased taxation of already excessively taxed Europeans and U.S. citizens.
</blockquote>
Although Breivik’s conspiracy theories are insane, they are <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2009/07/21/51881/castle-townhall/">in line</a> with mainstream opinion among American conservatives. He cites Christopher Monckton’s speech before the Minnesota Free Market Institute in 2009, accusing President Obama of trying to <a href="http://mnfmi.org/2009/10/16/monckton-speaks-to-over-700-at-minnesota-free-market-institute-event/">cede United States sovereignty</a> to the United Nations through climate treaties. Monckton — a rabid conspiracy theorist who claims his opponents are <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/2011/06/monckton_says_that_if_you_acce.php">Nazis</a> — was a <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/2010/05/moncktons_testimony_to_congres.php">Republican witness</a> before Congress on global warming in 2010.
Breivik also believed that the “Climategate” hacking incident “revealed how top scientists conspired to falsify data in the face of declining global temperatures in order to prop up the premise that manmade factors are driving climate change.”
One of his sources for this delusional claim is right-wing climate conspiracy theorist James Delingpole, who regularly appears on Fox News programs, including <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyPMRBwFVRI">Glenn Beck</a>‘s now defunct show. The Norwegian terrorist also cited climate conspiracy blogger Steve McIntyre, who appeared in a <a href="http://climateaudit.org/2009/12/20/fox-news-9-p-m/">one-hour Fox News special</a> on global warming in 2009. McIntyre’s conspiracy theories have been promoted by Rep. <a href="http://new-grist-develop.go-vip.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/05062010epa_endangerment_finding_minority_staff_report.pdf">James Sensenbrenner</a> (R-Wis.) [PDF] and Sen. <a href="http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Minority.Blogs&ContentRecord_id=8f16552a-802a-23ad-465f-8858beb85ac2">Jim Inhofe</a> (R-Okla.). <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/climate-zombie-caucus/">Dozens of Republican members</a> of Congress have endorsed the Climategate conspiracy theory.
In reality, <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/green/2011/06/17/247889/shawn-otto-science-is-never-partisan-but-science-is-always-political/">science is not partisan</a>. It is a fact that the burning of hundreds of billions of tons of coal and oil is dangerously warming the planet. The torrent of propaganda spewed by conservative outlets and politicians to fight action is toxic and irresponsible.
Manifesto excerpt:
<blockquote>
2.72 Green is the new Red – Stop Enviro-Communism!
You might know them as environmentalists, enviro-communists, eco-Marxists, neo-Communists or eco-fanatics. They all claim they want to save the world from global warming but their true agenda is to contribute to create a world government lead by the UN or in other ways increase the transfer of resources (redistribute resources) from the developed Western world to the third world. They hope to accomplish this through the distribution of misinformation (propaganda) which they hope will lead to increased taxation of already excessively taxed Europeans and US citizens.
The neo-communist agenda uses politicised science to propagate the global warming scam in order to implement their true agenda; global Marxism. Marxism‘s ultimate goal is to redistribute wealth from successful nations to failed nations, instead of actually trying to fix these broken nations. Politicised science is being used by the cultural Marxist hegemony to manipulate the unsuspecting masses. They are using our trust and faith in science to spread lies and hysteria that will allow Marxists to implement socialist “solutions” to a problem that never actually existed.
To quote one of these UN eco-Marxist elites:
“Isn‘t the only hope for the planet that the industrialised civilisations collapse? Isn‘t it part of our responsibility to bring that about?”
This quote was from the opening statement of Maurice Strong in the 1992 ‘Earth Summit’ in Rio de Janeiro. Strong is the first Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP).
Yuri Bezmenov, former KGB agent and expert on ideological subversion.
“A person who is demoralised is unable to assess true information.”
Here are a few more sources indicating the true agenda of the eco-Marxists:
Environmentalism should be regarded on the same level with religion “as the only compelling, value-based narrative available to humanity,” according to a paper written in 2007 to influence the future strategy of the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP), the world’s would-be environmental watchdog.[1]
Watch how nations are demoralised for ideological subversion:
That’s exactly what is happening with the Anthropogenic Global Warming scam; too many people are too demoralised to assess true information about Socialism, Communism, and climate change to allow its use for other agendas on the hands of the useful idiots, “the leftists,” as former KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov calls them.
Enviro-communism is a new twisted idea of redistribution of wealth through “environmental” policies and the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference 2009 is the perfect manifestation of it. Environmental Justice is the new Social Justice; Climate Debt is the new Redistribution of Wealth, Anthropogenic Global Warming scam is the Communism.
Under current Copenhagen draft treaty, developed countries are expected to fund clean energy in developing countries, which could result in an annual transfer of almost € 100 billion per year [$1.4 billion] by 2020.[2]
Please see Lord Christopher Monckton’s speech:
PLEASE read the SHOCKING Communist Goals (1963) that already started being implemented and will be discussed next December in the Copenhagen Climate Change treaty drafts 2009:
http://www.uhuh.com/nwo/communism/comgoals.htm
Barak Obama received the Nobel Peace prize for exactly the same reason Al Gore did. The prize is given by Thorbjørn Jagland, Chair of the Nobel Committee who was also the Vice President of Socialist International. One can think they are pushing a global agenda of Enviro-Communism or Eco-Marxism that will force Europe and the U.S. to cater for the global Eco-Marxist agenda. Their end goal is to “punish” European countries 
(US included) for capitalism and success.
The Marxist agenda of the Climate Change Conference 2009 was to discuss the totalitarian idea of World Government, transfer of wealth from Western countries to third world countries under what they call “Climate debt,” because allegedly western countries have been burning CO2 and 3rd world countries haven’t!
Have you tried breathing in a third world country lately?
It is a fact that developed countries are by far less polluted than developing countries, where people are actually dying from pollution. “Transferring wealth” to third world countries under an unelected world government, to countries that are mostly governed by [an] autocratic ruler will only help the sustainability of dictatorship, pollution and fascism, and more plights to the citizens living under these regimes by supporting their dictators financially to sustain regimes that would otherwise collapse by their own demeanor. The aim of this Conspiracy is to help the sustainability of third world Communism, Socialism and dictatorship to save the fanatic leftist forms of government while weakening Capitalism by what they call “climate debt”.
You can give Communism all the new colours you want, fascism will always have the same ugly face.
Climategate incident — exposing the eco-Marxist scam
On Thursday 19th November 2009 news began to circulate that hacked documents and communications from the University of East Anglia’s Hadley Climate Research Unit (aka CRU) had been published to the internet.
The information revealed how top scientists conspired to falsify data in the face of declining global temperatures in order to prop up the premise that manmade factors are driving climate change.
The documents and emails illustrated how prominent climatologists, affiliated with the UN’s International Panel on Climate Change, embarked on a venomous and coordinated campaign to ostracise climate skeptics and use their influence to keep dissenting reports from appearing in peer-reviewed journals, as well as using cronyism to avoid compliance with Freedom of Information Act requests.
Here follows a compendium of articles and videos on what was quickly dubbed as “ClimateGate”.
